result is given below as follows:
Mayor Stevens, democrat, 81
think it great piece of foolishness
and | am opposed to such railroad
legislation as that proposed"
Samuel Stahl, democrat, Il think

A Farnham, republican, 81 am
much surprised at the governors ac-
ton and do not consider it in keeping

Cyrus Newkirk, republican, II

minal bill but am opposed to the
other"
Circuit clerk, Thomas Fowler,

Sheriff Murray, democrat, 81 think
the deficiency bill ought to be passed,
We need our money"
Frank Landmsn republican,, 81 do
not think it wise to pass any railroad
legislation at this time"
g" Probate Judge, u. F. Bailey, re-
publican, 81 think it would have
been better to allow matters TO rest
as they are"
City Attorney, Louis Hoffman, re-
publican, 81 do not think the Gov
ernor has any right to try to force the |
legislature to do what they have once
refused to do"
Judge John A. Lacy, democrat, 81
think the Governor did exactly |
right"
Col. r. Ritter, republican "If
the governor had included a militia |
bill, the action might have been over
looked !; as it is, it is objectionable
laundering"
IS. G. Gold, republican 81 be- |
lieve they had better let the railroads |
alone until We have some to legislate
upon"
E. j. Smith, republican 81 am
surprised at the governor, and con-
slider any railroad legislation at this
time unwise."
d. I'll. Smith, republican: think |
the governor has made a great mis-
take, but it will be the better for our
party" !
Chas. G. Taylor, Democrat : 81
have not given the matter much |
thought. l favor the terminal bill,
but consider the others unwise,"
Ira Hinsdale, republic n, ''I think
we have all the railroad legislation
we need. They had better wait until
the interstate commerce bill is inter
.preted."
Prosecuting Attorney Henry
Lamm, republican, 81 think the leg
islature has already expressed its SEN
timents and the extra session is there
fore a needless expense"
Capt Doyle, democrat, Il hope to
God the legislature will vote just as it
did before"
City Marshal Jackson, republican,
''I don't know much about the rail
road business, but the deficiency bill |
ought to be passed"
Hon. w. ID. Steele, democrat and !
ex-member-The legislature was In |
session more than seventy days, and |
spent at least half of that time in con-
sidering railroad legislation, and re-
fused to pass laws concerning rail |
roads, probably owing to the passing
of the interstate commerce law. I'll
believe the call session will result in
the same and costing the people of the
state large sums of money. No one
at this time can frame law but that |
might conflict with the interstate
commerce bill. Hence | believe the
call session q mistake.
James Glass, democrat, 81 have
not paid much attention to railroad |
matters, but think we need some kind !
of legislation to protect the people"
DR.. III. w. Wood, democrat, 81
think the call useless and extrava-
CANT. If the legislature should pass
